What inspires you and how do you envision the design for your business?

I intend to launch my site under a new name and new design. My new site header has a large background image with the logo stuck on top and the menu underneath. I am looking for a new background image and a great logo in it.

My site is about digital file sharing; it offers guides, news, and freeware downloads --all related to digital file sharing.

First of all: The logo background and the logo will form one graphic on site, therefore I think it is impossible that these two will fit together if created separately. So I am actually looking for entries where both are present. More specifically, I need this image redone: http://filesharingz.com/newdesign/i…erimg1.gif

Logo
- A symbol or icon in the logo is not required, but it is allowed and could give it that extra juice.
- The name of the site is File Sharing Z; the logo text should be: "FileSharingZ".
- I would like to have the F, S and Z to be capital letters so they stand out from the rest.
- The logo is shown above the logo background image (below), therefore it will have to stand out. I suppose the colour silver would be the best choice here to counter the darker blue.Logo Background Image

The logo is shown above a large background image which sets the mood for the entire page, and gives the site its identity. This is an image where a designer can really show off his/her skills.

I am not looking for a real life photo here, but computerized graphics, possibly a 3D rendered image. The site is about digital file sharing, this should allow for many creative solutions (with lots of effects). I want to see something happening here, I do not want some random geometrical shapes.

I am only interested in seeing shades of blue here. However, this doesn't mean other colours can be used to highlight areas or create effects. My preference goes to darker shades (as to provide a good background for the logo).

I am looking for a style which fits the digital file sharing theme, is clean, professional, unique and appeals to a mainly younger crowd: 14-25. The colours I use in the mock-up are what I am looking for.
